In this chilling episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale exposes the dark and calculated crimes of Stephen Port, the man infamously known as The Grindr Killer. Between 2014 and 2015, Port lured young gay men through dating apps with promises of companionship — only to drug, rape, and kill them using lethal doses of GHB. His victims were discarded near his home in Barking, East London, their deaths wrongly dismissed by authorities as overdoses. Port’s manipulation ran deep: he faked suicide notes, posed bodies in deliberate ways, and deceived detectives — all while hiding behind a façade of innocence. It wasn’t until relentless pressure from grieving families and LGBTQ+ activists forced a re-investigation that the truth emerged. What followed was a scandal not only of murder, but of institutional indifference and police failure. Damien Vale guides you through the cold logic, hidden videos, and avoidable deaths that exposed a killer — and a system that looked the other way.
